Columbia Children's Arboretum Planting

  • Columbia Children's Arboretum 10040 NE 6th Dr Portland, OR 97211 (map)

Thank you for considering signing-up to plant hundreds of native trees and shrubs at this special gem of a park in inner NE Portland! We'll also be removing invasive species including Himalayan Blackberry and English Ivy. 

Please arrive by 8:45am to sign-in and enjoy some breakfast treats and coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. The planting starts at 9:00am. We provide gloves, tools, and planting guidance -- all you need to do is show up dressed for the weather wearing sturdy shoes or boots, and be ready to have fun!
